Agilent E8462A Relay Multiplexer Command Reference
An example is the
TRIGger:SOURce <
source
>
command where
source
can be
BUS
,
EXTernal
,
HOLD
,
IMMediate
,
ECLTrg
n
, or
TTLTrg
n
.
Numeric Parameters
are commonly used decimal representations of numbers
including optional signs, decimal points, and scientific notation (for example, 123,
123E2, -123, -1.23E2, .123, 1.23E-2, 1.23000E- 01). Special cases include
MINimum
,
MAXimum
and
DEFault
.
Optional Parameters
are shown within square brackets (
[ ]
). The brackets are not
part of the command, and are not sent to the instrument. If you do not specify a value
for an optional parameter, the instrument chooses a default value. For example,
consider the
ARM:COUNt? [<MIN|MAX>]
command. If you send the command
without specifying a parameter, the present
ARM:COUNt
value is returned. If you
send the
MIN
parameter, the command returns the minimum count available. If you
send the
MAX
parameter, the command returns the maximum count available. Be
sure to place a space between the command and the parameter.
Linking
Commands
Linking IEEE 488.2 Common Commands with SCPI Commands.
Use a
semicolon between the commands. For example:
*RST;*RCL 1
or
CLOS (@101);*SAV 1
Linking Multiple SCPI Commands.
Use both a semicolon and a colon between
the commands. For example:
CLOS (@101);:CLOS? (@101)
SCPI also allows several commands within the same subsystem to be linked with a
semicolon. For example:
ROUT:CLOS (@101);:ROUT:CLOS? (@101)
or
ROUT:CLOS (@101);CLOS? (@101)
SCPI Command Reference
This section describes the Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments
(SCPI) reference commands for the multiplexer. Commands on the following pages
are listed alphabetically by subsystem and also within each subsystem.
